It’s important for everybody to not just assume the people on your own team, or the people that look like you, are being truthful and arguing in good faith.

That goes for everybody, but it seems pretty consistent that you need to me more wary of it as you move towards the conservative end of the scale. And conveniently for those politicians, the citizens on that end of the scale are the worst at cutting through the BS. Arguably that’s what landed them there in the first place!

I can only answer your question with a question: https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/

It’s crazy seeing how old the graphs on that site are now.

My wife likes her kindle hardware.

I love stumbling upon EPUBs and using Amazon’s website to send them to her kindle.

Game development and teaching.

Two industries that would be right up my alley. Two industries that prey on and exploit people who have a strong passion for their work. Two industries that I have stayed far away from. :/

They will finally inherit the earth once humanity and 3/4 of animals burn away.

I cannot help but respect any organization that has “here are the conditions that make our product useless” in their FAQ.

It’s an effective way to describe what their proxy does, for sure. It’s just nice to read public-facing text that doesn’t feel sanitized by committee.

Oh YouTube. You are in such a dominant position for talented individuals who want to create their own TV show. You’ve been pissing people off for a long time, but changing what “YouTube” even is seems way worse.

I will even pay the $15 for my family to be able to easily watch or listen to whatever they want in a native app on whatever platform they’re using. And I like how it makes my views more valuable to the creators I care about.

But if it’s not cheap, easy, AND ad-free, it is not difficult to block ads or even download videos I care about onto my Jellyfin server.

It looks like the latest firmware on their website for my old-ass black & white brother laser was released in 2019.

Hopefully that thing lasts another few decades on top of the ~15 years I’ve already had it, because it sounds like it’s the last printer I’m going to buy.

Maybe we should all throw some kind of support behind https://ladybird.org/ with an eye to the future.

That project isn’t problematic for some reason I haven’t heard about, is it?

(Problematic other than web browsers being gigantic pieces of software, and ladybrid itself not even being in alpha yet)
